Nostalgia
Nostalgia: A Novel | Mircea C?rt?rescu, Julian Semilian
3 posts | 5 read
"Readers opening the pages of Nostalgia should brace themselves for a verbal tidal wave of the imagination that will wash away previous ideas of what a novel is or ought to be. What unifies the book is neither characters nor narrative continuity but a thematic, even mesmeric harmony. In the world of Nostalgia, children's games, the music of the spheres, humankind's primordial myth-making, the origins of the universe - all find their unlikely common ground in the dilapidated tenement blocks of an apocalyptic Bucharest during the years of the communist dictatorship."--BOOK JACKET.

Just arrived last night in the country of Mircea Cărtărescu‘s “Nostalgia”. Started reading this while in a 12 hour layover in Istanbul - the lounge was absolutely perfect with shower facilities and never-ending buffet that gets replenished every so often.
